It was a packed house yesterday for a session with Professor Curtis Bradley discussing his new book “Historical Gloss and Foreign Affairs: Constitutional Authority in Practice.” The book outlines how foreign affairs powers of Congress and the President have often stemmed from historical practice rather than the text of the Constitution or judicial decisions. Bradley spoke as a guest in the Brainerd Currie Memorial Lecture series.

Lots of smiles and a giant thank you! We gathered to honor the many contributions of Liz Gustafson, who has helped shape the Law School for decades in various leadership roles, as she embarks upon retirement.

Last week, the Center for International and Comparative Law and the International Human Rights Clinic held a Human Rights in Practice event titled, “Humanity in War: Reflections on the 75th Anniversary of the Geneva Conventions.” In a discussion moderated by Prof. Jayne Huckerby, Bruno Demeyere (@ICRC), Prof. Karen Hulme (@uniessex), and Prof. Janet Lord (@ubaltlaw) discussed the history, contours, and purpose of international humanitarian law, as well as how both the environment and the rights of persons with disabilities are protected during armed conflict.   See our post-event chat with Janet Lord to learn more about how the rights of persons with disabilities are protected during armed conflict – and how you can learn more and get involved in work on this critical issue.
